I just read this on my e-mail inspiring quote of the day today when I logged in. It made me think and I'm going to think on it more, but just want to post it here so you can know I'm thinking about it. Right off the bat, I am thinking that I definitely have love for you, but from this thought it sound like there needs to be two root systems growing together, so although I may feel real true love, it may eventually die if there is no joining with another root system. So, I guess it depends on what you really felt or feel. It's so complicated! :) I am smiling at least because the love I have does make me feel good for now, anyway.
Here is the quote/thought that made me think deeply...
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

So, there it is and I better get back to work and solving all my issues! I am making progress. I hope that you would be proud of me. I feel like I am getting stronger every day and really wish you had not seen me at one of my worst and weakest points.
I love you eternally underground (after the earthquake),
Me
